Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, Contemporary art museum in Old Town Scottsdale, United States.
The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art occupies a renovated movie theater building with four exhibition galleries and a dedicated lounge space for visitors.
The museum opened in 1999 through a transformation of a former cinema into an arts venue, designed by architect Will Bruder with minimalist architectural elements.
The institution presents rotating exhibitions of modern art, architecture, and design from international artists, complemented by educational programs and guided tours.
Located at 7374 East Second Street, the museum welcomes visitors Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM with free admission on Thursday evenings.
